The workaround is not a perfect solution. For one thing, in the
[[MediaWiki:Coll-excluded-templates]] message, you cannot get rid of the
“Category:” prefix. The default displays “Templates in category Exclude in
print have been excluded.” When working around the bug, you will receive
“Templates in category Category:Exclude in print have been excluded.” (you can
remove the word “category”, but not the “Category:” prefix).

Well, no, not really. When you set [[MediaWiki:coll-exclusion_category_title]]
to e.g. “Project Nonprintable”, it works and templates within
[[Category:Project Nonprintable]] are excluded. When you change it so slightly
to “Project:Nonprintable”, it does not work and _no_ templates are excluded. It
requires digging in the code to learn why all templates are printed, and learn
how you could change two messages to make it work. (This is how I discovered
the problem – templates kept being rendered on the Czech Wikipedia, ignoring
the nonprintable template category. Nobody knew what the problem was until I
analyzed the code and discovered that our choice of the name for the exclusion
category was troublesome.)
